Reinforcments by chopper problem

[GoverningLaw 10]

I'm trying to set up 2 ungrouped choppers to drop off reinforcments at two nearby areas. I am using this allowfleeing 0; this disableAI "Target" to get them to land under fire. These areas are designated using (invisible helo pad) named pad1 and pad2. I have the the choppers named h1 and h2. In the waypoints ACT for each I have: h1 land "pad1" and h2 land "pad2."

The issue I am having is that the chopper h2 will always try to land on pad1 first and then it will eventually move over to pad2.

Any way to remedy this?

Thanks

"pad1" isn't a valid value for the land command. The argument isn't where to land it's how. "LAND", "GET IN", "GET OUT" and "NONE" are the valid options for it. Either land and shut down the endings, hover low and wait for people to board, hover low and let people out or cancel a landing.

h1 land "GET OUT";

They try to land on pad1 since it's closest probably. Best bet is to ditch the 2nd helo entirely or have them land far enough away that they aren't tempted by pad1.

They are supposed to drop troops and leave. Will the 'unload' waypoint be enough so I wont need any form of h1 land "xx"?

I'll move the pads further away as well. I'll see if I can find a minimum distance for future reference. Under 200m is too close atm.

Thanks again kylania!

Unload should work yes. Or, skip the cliche helicopter insert and start on the ground as the helos fly away. Exactly the same effect, without the minutes of waiting to land and the trouble of getting them to land where and how you want. :)

Cliché? Uh oh..:p No, it's an AI reinforcement mid mission. I will keep that in mind though.

There's been like 4-5 helicopter drop off threads this week is all. ;)

They are such a pain in the butt! Moving the landing spots and removing the "pads" value has worked! 400m distance between them and they don't share.
